WORK BASKETS.

Those who have never possessed a
standing work basket cannot conceive the
comfort there is to be derived from one.
Four bamboo canes, which can be pur-
chased for eight or ten cents each, make
a pretty and inexpensive frame. and they
are fastened together securely by boring
holes in them and running wires through
and around them.
\ shallow willow basket is fastened in
the top to the canes with the wire, and a
bag-lke cover is made Of straight piece
of silk or satin, the length of which should
correspond with the circumference of the
basket.
This strip is hemmed on one edge and
place for a shirr stitched in it just be-
low the hem. Narrow satin ribon the
color of the bag is used for the shirr
string. Fasten the other edge of the
satin strip to the inside of the basket rim
and tie full bow of ribbon around the
canes to conceal the wire.
The same idea just given for the STAN
dard and basket can be carried out at still
less cost, but with little more trouble.
by substituting broomsticls for the canes
and light wooden bowl for the basket.
The bowl can be disguised by gluing
little grains of rice and hominy on the
outside, and when thoroughly dry giving
it coat of bronze; the broom-sticks
should have coat of the same. Turn
the silk bag inside out and tack it to the
top of the bowl in this way the tacks will
be covered when the bag is turned right

with useless, heavy tools. Manufacture
ers find iron cheaper than wood; hence
iron is often used when wood would
answer the purpose as well and be lighter.
1t would be better to paw little more
for the implement, II necessary, and get
wood instead of iron. Some thoughtless-
w prefer iron to wood because it occupies
less space and its use makes a neater
looking implement. Unfortunately they
please their eye at the expense of their
teams or the amount of work done. Iron
and steel have their proper places, and
for varions parts in many implements are
better than wood, but wood also has its
proper places, where it is better than iron
or steel, and should be put in those places.

THE WOOL SITUATION.

The following is from the Textile Re
brd The trade has been active at inter-
r points, where the speculative feeling,
bted last month, has continued to domi-
bite the market without much regard to
lsiness conditions in the eastern centres.
ntil the week following the collapse of
)e grain speculation in Chicago, and
|e disclosure of the rottenness of the
fidelity bank, in Cincinnati, there was
active demand for wool in all the new
p sections at steadily advancing prices.
though the Eastern markets advanced
to 3 cents from the lowest point, the
estern speculation kept the cost at pri-
airy points too high for general invest

Do Not Eat Raw Eggs.

In the Monatschrift yum Schutze der Vogel-
welt Professor Liebe adduces reliable data in
answer TO the question whether living worms
are to be found in hens eggs. A short time
previously his sister had found a round,
thread like worm, the length of little finger,
in the white of an egg. 1t moved itself in d
very lively manner. She at once took the
white of the egg to a druggist, who put the
worm in alcohol. Professor Mobius, of KEEL,
decided that the specimen was an example Of

existence of the same in the white of the egg
have been recorded. -Allgemeine Medicin-

ROASTING MEATS.

Mrs. Dean. of the school of Domestic
Economy at the Iowa Agricultural col
lege. says:
I'm roasting meats of all kinds the
method adopted should be the one that
in the most perfect manner preserves all
the juice inside the meat. TO roast beef
in the best possible manner: Place the
clean cut side of the meat upon smoking
hot pan. which must he over a quick fire.
Press it close to the pan until scared and
slightly brown. Reverse and let the
opposite side become similarly scared and
brown. Then put it at once in the oven.
the heat of which should be firm and
steady, but not too intense, and leave it
undisturbed until cooked The time that
should be allowed for cooking beef in this
manner is twenty minutes to the pound,
if it is to be rare, less half an hour. de-
Quoted from the aggregate time on ac-
count of soaring In other words, a five
pound roast of beef will require about an
hour and quarter, a siX-pound roast an
hour and half. and so on.
If the oven is not too hot, the beef re-
quires no basting, and it is better with
out it. When the oven is at the proper
temperature and the cooking is going on
all right, the meat will keep up gentle
suffering in the pan. If upon opening
the oven door this suffering is not per-
ceptible, more heat is required. But if,
in addition to the suffering, any smoke
is discernible in the oven, the heat is too
intense and should be lessened. Unless
the heat of the oven is too great, the
drippings in the pan will not burn and
smoke, and when the meat is cooked there
will be thin coating of brown Jelly in
the pan where the meat rested, which,
by the addition of stock or water. will
make delicious gravy.
"A roast of beef should never be wash
ed, and if it has accidentally been wet or
mOistened it should be carefully wiped
dry before it is scared or put to cook
Soaring almost instantly coats the cut
side of piece of meat, and prevents the
escape of juices in the after process OF
roasting, while firm, steady heat gently
but thoroughly cooks it, and thus both
juices and flavor are preserved. Blasting
is a troublesome as well as a damaging
process. And as salt and water have 9
tendency to tougher and extract the
juices of meat, they should not be used
on it while roasting, if it is desired tC
have the meat sweet, juicy and tender"
